 Dear John,

  I'm extremely sorry to tell you that I am unable to go to your party this Sunday. It is very kind of you to invite me to your house and I really look forward to going to your party and sharing your happy experiences abroad. Much to my regret,I will be ab?sent from your party owing to the fact that the College Entrance Exam is just around the corner,for which I am now really busy preparing.

  What's worse? I have caught a bad cold lately and I'd rather I stayed at home instead of going anywhere.

  Anyway,we will have many more chances to get together. Would it be convenient for you if we make it after the exam?

  I'm truly sorry. I hope you will forgive me and accept my sincere apologies. I look forward to your reply!Best wishes!


                                    Yours,Li Hua

 Here are tips for a successful speech from a professional speechwriter:

No speech should last more than 20 minutes.1.      The Sermon on the Mount,a collection of sayings and teachings of Jesus,for example,lasted hardly more than three minutes.

  Focus on one topic. We’re human beings and tend to have lots of thoughts,opinions and ideas. You have to make the proper selection. 2.       Include and expand only those that explain and support your viewpoint (观点).

  3.       It’s important to remember that your words must be hearable and understandable.

  Humour is vital.4.      Ronald Reagan always wanted to joke at the start of a speech because he needed the quick victory of laughter. It helped him relax. It also helped the audience relax.

  Don’t forget to say thanks. You should always,at the beginning of the speech,thank the person who invited you and introduced you.5.      While you’re doing it,the audience gets a chance to daydream and settle down. They’re going to daydream at some point anyway,and it may as well be before you get to the heart of your remarks.

   A. Choose your words carefully.

   B. And saying thanks at the beginning has a practical purpose.

   C. First you have to work out what you’re going to say.

   D. Every speech needs it,and you need it,too,probably at the beginning.

   E. Stick to one subject -the future of the soccer club,for example.

   F. This process takes time,so start once you begin thinking about the speech.

   G. The more important the message is,the less time it requires to say it.

  Kids’ health : four steps for fighting stress 

  Everybody gets stressed time to time.1.        Some ways of dealing with stress- like screaming or hitting someone——don’t solve (解决) much. But other ways,like talking to someone you trust,can lead you to solving your problem or at least feeling better.

  Try taking these four steps the next time you are stressed :

  (1) Get support. When you need help,reach out to the people who care about you. Talk to trusted adults,such as parents or other relatives.

2.        They might have had similar problems,such as dealing with a test,or the death of a beloved pet.

  (2) Don’t take it out on yourself. Sometimes when kids are stressed and upset they take it out on themselves. Oh,dear,that’s not a good idea. Remember that there are always people to help you.

3.       

  (3) Try to solve the problem. After you’re calm and you have support from adults and friencLs,it’s time to get down to business.

4.        Even if you can’t solve it all,you can solve a piece of it.

  (4) Be positive. Most stress is temporary (暂时的) .Remember stress does go away,especially when you figure out the problem and start working on solving it. These steps aren’t magic,but they do work. And if you can stay positive as you make your way through a tough time,you’ll help yourself feel better even faster.

  Any passenger on the subway who caught a glimpse of me may have already thought that I was strange. In particular this gentleman sitting opposite me was staring at me,at the cheese bun on the floor in front of me,and then back at me. “Next stop,St Patrick Station. ” My stop was quickly coming up. I had minutes to either take the cheese bun,which nobody else was claiming (as a passenger probably dropped it by mistake and got off at a previous stop) ,or leave it there and hope that it didn’t go to waste.

  In those few minutes I felt my pride getting in the way. “What would other people on this subway think of me if I took the cheese bun? Would they think that I was poor and hungry? Would they think that I’m stealing?”

  The ignorant thing to do was say “yes” to any of those self-imposed (自我强加的) questions,which would only justify my ego. But then I’d get off the subway,walk a block up the street to my office,get settled at my desk,and despite feeling comfortable,warm,and being well fed myself for the whole day,there would be a weight of guilt and regret weighing on my consciousness.

  My thoughts were pushing me towards pride and ignorance when the truth was evident:this missing cheese bun is a gift for a homeless person who is hungry and cold. For me it is a gift to overcome a little bit of ego and pass along so much kindness. It was clear that the homeless person who would receive this cheese bun needed it just as much as I did.

  Just as the doors opened at my stop,I grabbed the cheese bun and exited the subway. It felt awesome and I didn’t care if people were looking or what they thought. Instead of going directly to my office as usual,I walked a few more blocks up to Queen’s Park where I have seen a homeless man sitting outside many times on my walk from the gym to my office. I always wanted to give him something. There he was this morning,wrapped in a sleeping bag.

  I was in my third year of teaching creative writing at a high school in New York,when one of my students,15-year-old Mikey,gave me a note from his mother. It explained his absence from class the day before.

  I had seen Mikey himself writing the note at his desk. Most parental-excuse notes I received were forged by my students. If I were to deal with them,I’d be busy 24 hours a day.

  The forged excuse notes made a large pile,with writing that ranged from imaginative to crazy. The writers of those notes didn’t realize that honest excuse notes were usually dull, “Peter was late because the alarm clock didn’t go off. ”

  Isn’t it remarkable,I thought,how the students complained and said it was hard putting 200 words together on any subject? But when they produced excuse notes,they were brilliant.

  So one day I typed out a dozen excuse notes and gave them to my classes. I said, “They’re supposed to be written by parents,but actually they are not. True,Mikey?” The students looked at me nervously.

“Now,this will be the first class to study the art of the excuse note—the first class,ever,to practice writing them.

You’re so lucky to have a teacher like me who has taken your best writing and turned it into a subject worthy of study. ”

Everyone smiled as I went on, “You used your imaginations. So try more now. Today I’d like you to write ‘An Excuse Note from Adam to God’ or ‘An Excuse Note from Eve to God?. ” Heads went down. Pens raced across paper. For the first time ever I saw students so careful in their writing that they had to be asked to go to lunch by their friends. The next day everyone had excuse notes. Heated discussions followed. The headmaster entered the classroom and walked up and down,looking at papers,and then said, “I’d like you to see me in my office. ”

  When I stepped into his office,he came to shake my hand and said, “I just want to tell you that that lesson,that task,whatever the hell you were doing,was great. Those kids were writing on the college level. Thank you. ”

(   ) 5. What did the author do with the students found dishonest?

   A. He reported them to the headmaster.

   B. He lectured them hard on honesty.

   C. He had them take notes before lunch.

   D. He helped improve their writing skills.

   A. the importance of being honest

   B. how to write excuse notes skillfully

   C. the pleasure of creative writing

   D. how to be creative in writing

(   ) 7. The underlined word “forged” in the second para graph means "________"

   A. former   B. copied

   C. false   D. honest

(   ) 8. What did the headmaster think of the author’s way of teaching?

   A. Effective.

   B. Difficult.

   C. Misleading.

   D. Reasonable.
